| ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ( I ) JDS - DENIES JESUS OFFERED ONLY HIS PHYSICAL BLOOD FOR REMISSION OF SINS Again, take note that Christ speaks of His flesh and bone instead of flesh and blood when He presents Himself after His resurrection in Luke 24:39. Christs� blood was no longer part of His physical body in that it was all offered and used for redemptive purposes. A spirit has no blood of itself in which to offer in order to wash away sins. Yet blood is the very thing necessary to wash away sins ( Matt. 26:28 & Heb. 10:17- 18 ). The only way therefore in which God, a.k.a. Jesus Christ, could die for mankind and wash away the sins of the world could only occur in a flesh and blood, a physical body sacrifice and offering. The Spirit of God, the Spirit of Jesus Christ has no blood in itself to offer for sins. Therefore the scripture of Hebrews 10 verse 5 states that a body was prepared to take away sins. A spirit was not prepared to take away sins because a spirit has no blood. This is the very reason why Jesus Christ who is God and therefore Spirit, had to take upon Himself a physical, tangible flesh and blood body. As it is written in scripture; 9. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. - Heb. 2:9 14. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15. And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 17. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 18. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. - Heb. 2:14-18 22. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. - Heb. 9:22 4. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. 5. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 6. In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 7. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. 8. Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; - Hebrews 10:4-8 10. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13. From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 14. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. - Heb. 10:10-14 17. And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 18. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. - Heb. 10:17-18 [26] And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. [27] And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; [28] For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. - Matt. 26:26-28 In the context of the 10th chapter of Hebrews it is continually written of one offering for sins. Verse 5, 10, 12, 14 and 18 all speak of one body which was offered once for all. One offering of the body of Christ which perfected for ever them that are sanctified. One sacrifice for sins for ever. Moreover, as verse 18 declares, where there is a remission of sins and iniquities then there is no more offering for sins. Thus, clearly revealing to the reader that once the blood of Christ was shed on the cross then there was no more need for another offering for sins. Why would this be? Because the blood of Christ did away with our sins and so no additional offering for sins was required. Therefore the Spirit of Jesus was in no manner required to be offered up to suffer and die for the sins of mankind. The Spirit of Jesus had nothing to offer in order to do away with sins. It did not have blood within itself. From Christs� words in the 24th chapter of Lukes� gospel reveals that the body which had been prepared to be offered up to God for the sacrifice and offering of sins was only the physical, flesh and blood body of Jesus Christ and not His Spirit. However, the JDS doctrine by its� belief and teaching denies these scriptural truths concerning our Lord Jesus Christ and His work of redemption. And so it is written in scripture that there would be many who deny our Lord Jesus Christ our Redeemer. The Lord that bought us; [1] But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. [2] And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. [3] And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. - 2 Peter 2:1-3 [4] For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. [5] I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. - Jude 4-5 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
